\frac{7}{2}x+6=2x
Combine 3x and \frac{1}{2}x to get \frac{7}{2}x.
\frac{7}{2}x+6-2x=0
Subtract 2x from both sides.
\frac{3}{2}x+6=0
Combine \frac{7}{2}x and -2x to get \frac{3}{2}x.
\frac{3}{2}x=-6
Subtract 6 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=-6\times \frac{2}{3}
Multiply both sides by \frac{2}{3}, the reciprocal of \frac{3}{2}.
x=\frac{-6\times 2}{3}
Express -6\times \frac{2}{3} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{-12}{3}
Multiply -6 and 2 to get -12.
x=-4
Divide -12 by 3 to get -4.
